PROPOSAL FOR A COUNCIL REGULATION.
1. WE WOULD PROPOSE TO TAKE THE LINE AT COREPER ON 1 FEBRUARY THAT WE HAVE NO COMMENTS OF SUBSTANCE ON THE COMMISSION'S DRAFT PROPOSAL BUT THAT WE ARE OBLIGED TO PLACE A UK RESERVE ON THE PROPOSAL PENDING A SATISFACTORY OUTCOME OF PARLIAMENTARY SCRUTINY. IT WOULD BE HELPFUL IF WE COULD ADD THAT WE SHALL BE IN A POSITION TO LIFT OUR RESERVE BY FRIDAY 3 FEBRUARY, THUS ENSURING (ASSUMING THERE ARE NO OTHER RESERVES) THAT THIS CAN COME AS AN 'A' POINT TO THE COUNCIL THE FOLLOWING WEEK. GRATEFUL FOR CONFIRMATION.
